Last week the photo-of-the-week guy received this photo from a fellow who said, "On January 02, 2017 I was taking my children ice skating near my house in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada and stumbled along a large 30’ hole in the ice. There were no tracks around the hole and it appears as if something from above struck the ice. The ice was approximately 10” thick. There were several small rocks laying on the surrounding ice which appears to be from the lake bottom as they has algae growing on them." It look like something big broke through the ice. But, short of a cold swim, there's no way I know to tell if was a meteorite or space junk. Wait until spring.Photo credit: P. WatsonFull Page
